Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
The Stars’ best hitter this season is Joe Clarke, who has scored 248 runs at an average of 31.00. This season, he has scored a hundred at the venue, which helps him. Clarke is a top pick for your STA vs. STR Dream11 prediction team because he can beat both pace and spin.
Chris Lynn, a top pick for the outfield, has hit three 50s in a row in recent games, including this one. At the time of writing, he has scored 393 runs in nine games, making him the top run scorer in BBL 2022-23. Lynn is an excellent addition to your STA vs. STR Dream11 prediction team because he is in good form and wants to end his BBL career on a high note.
Matt Short, a top all-rounder pick, has performed admirably in the BBL, scoring 359 runs and taking nine wickets in nine matches. Short is striking at 145.34 at the top of the order in addition to leading the Strikers to two victories under his command. Short is an essential member of your STA vs. STR Dream11 prediction team because he has recently been given responsibility for the fifth bowler’s quota of overs.
The Stars’ best bowler this season has been Luke Wood, who took 15 wickets at an average of 20.73. He has outperformed Trent Boult and Adam Zampa with the new ball and in the dying stages. Wood might be a good choice for your STA vs. STR Dream11 prediction team if the circumstances are favorable.
Match captain and vice-captain choices
This season, Adam Zampa has taken eight wickets at an average of 32.25, which is not his best performance. Zampa has been somewhat expensive, but he has occasionally bowled tough overs in the Surge. With the leggie due for a big performance, the captain of the Melbourne Stars can be backed as a captaincy pick in your STA vs. STR Dream11 prediction team. He has a good record at the MCG.
At the moment, Matt Short has the best form in the BBL. Short has an incredible batting strike rate of over 140, but he has also been phenomenal with the ball, taking nine wickets with an economy of 6.67. Short is another option for your STA vs. STR Dream11 prediction team’s captain or vice-captain because he has previous experience playing at the MCG for his state team, Victoria.

pitch report
The Melbourne Cricket Ground is without a doubt one of the best locations in the world to play Twenty20 cricket. This is one of those locations where almost everyone can get help. While the ground’s larger boundaries also draw bowlers into the game, the pitch is ideal for batting.
The teams that batted first have prevailed in both of the two BBL 12 matches that have been played here thus far. 162 runs are the typical score in the first inning. A drop-in pitch with equal bounce will be used at the MCG, and batters will appreciate spending time in the middle. In preparation for tomorrow, this one had to be run once more.
Weather Forecast
There is no chance of rain at this time. The temperature will be around 21 degrees Celsius, and the humidity will be in the 80s.
